  3.  Hamzah S  nobody cares about Pakistan. It's just a slave of China anyway. It's well on its way to being another North Korea.

  5. Attacking India's major cities would be a major escalation beyond border warfare. This could invite Indian retaliation through longer range missiles. Indian public would not stay quiet if they come under bombardment, and there would be political pressure on Indian leadership to attack China's cities in response. India did not start latest border conflict with China -- it was China which suddenly send troops to suddenly seize areas which were previously open to patrols of both countries. China is the aggressor and bully. They promised India de-escalation during recent talks, but have now reneged on their promises.

  6. conflict in Southeast Asia would be more useful - not to mention safer

  8.  @shreeyanshcool4604  Nehru was only a lawyer and not an economist or businessman, so he wasn't smart on how to improve the economy. Mao was only a soldier and not an economist, so he wrecked his economy with idiotic "reforms" (Great Leap Forward). In order to save himself from his folly, he came up with new stunt to invade Tibet and take its riches (they literally referred to Tibet as "great western treasurehouse" because they saw it as a good place to raid). That's what brought China right up to India's borders, and led to 1962 War. Every time China's govt ends up in trouble like this, then they try to push westward, like they did with their invasion of Tibet. China's more recent trouble was that US was pushing back against China's ever-expanding trade imbalance, and this forced China's Xi to come up with new stunt called Belt-&-Road, which was about pushing westward toward Middle East & Europe. Now China's latest biggest trouble was due to COVID-19 which they stupidly tried to cover up, and made worse by infecting the world. So that's why China's Xi is becoming even more pushy by authorizing military clash with India, and also interfering in Nepal's politics. China has also forced Pakistan to amend its constitution to give highest control to CPEC Authority (which is basically China - so China now has legal control over Pakistan)

  9. Comrade Binkov, :person-turqouise-waving: You have not yet talked about China's new Type 004 nuclear aircraft carrier. 🛳 Also, you have only discussed US-vs-China scenarios where fighting is done near Chinese mainland. What happens if China takes initiative, and takes fight to US mainland? (Not unlike how Japan sort of did many decades earlier)

  10. India's BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missile is a 1-shot-1-kill weapon capable of destroying any ship in China's surface fleet. China prefers to use submarine warfare, which is what it has practiced for against USA. In order to defeat India, China would have to divert so many forces that it would leave its other numerous fronts vulnerable. In order to hold any territorial gains, China would have to expend disproportionate resources. Do a google search for an image of the border as seen from space at nighttime - you'll see plenty of lights on the Indian side, but the Chinese side is dark like an empty ocean - no Chinese live near the border, but plenty of Indians do. India has enough bomb-making potential from military(submarine) nuclear reactors which cannot be inspected - it's really a matter of India carrying out a thermonuclear test, which it retains the right to do in an emergency situation. China knows that if it attacks, this would give India the excuse it needs to carry out such a test. Meanwhile, time is on India's side - China's population has been rapidly aging due to the legacy of commie schemes like One Child Policy, but meanwhile India's overall population is much younger. Even economically India's growth rate has now overtaken China's, so that it's only a matter of time until India narrows the gap.

  11. Comrade Binkov has applied "No Allies" rule to keep things simple. In real life, India would have more allies than China. Pakistan could attack India along with China, to create a 2-front war. But USA, Australia, and Japan would help India. Even Russia, as India's longtime arms supplier, would allow India to have vital spare parts and supplies, even while trying to counsel de-escalation by both sides.

  12. Comrade Binkov - you need to give us a more comprehensive scenario for how stronger powers like Russia+China could intervene on behalf of Iran, should Iran come under US-Israeli attack. :hand-pink-waving:

  13. Reminds me of that John Marsden novel, "Tomorrow, When the War Began" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjCxqftHSc4

  14. Without your rule restrictions, certainly Israel would win -- when you fight Israel, you're really fighting the United States. US + Israel ---> Usrael ❓

  15. Haha - in the Asian NATO, if Japan is the Germany, and Australia is the UK, then India is the Turkey 😁

  16. Pakistan shared centrifuge and other technology with Iran, and it could possibly do so with Turkey, with which it has very close relations.

  17.  @aamerjamal  just like your leaders promised, you'd have nukes even if you have to eat grass. So now enjoy eating grass, as your leaders run around everywhere with a begging bowl. Meanwhile only exception is Asim Bajwa, who gets to make a fortune on pepperoni pizzas from Papa John's pizza chain.

  19. he covered that - the sea route is too long and other countries are in the way

  20. Ridiculous, Sikkim is part of India, and Bhutan is a friendly country. China is the expansionist aggressor, and must be contained. Quad will now keep China at bay.

  23.  @uningenieromas  - Turkey/Erdogan was the main player in terms of providing logistical support to the rebels, arming, training, and equipping them. But Israel & its embeds in the Biden admin were the main catalysts triggering this operation. Israel wanted to get this done before Biden leaves office, since they don't have as much influence with Trump, compared to the pliable obedient Biden and his handler Blinken. But with this operation done, now Israel can reap the spoils of toppling Assad, after the toppling of Qadafi, after the toppling of Saddam. Victoria Nuland must be beaming like a proud mama. Israel and its US surrogates are the real Domino Effect in action.

  27. ​ @Fireraid233 - some of those countries have direct borders with China, and would be vulnerable to all kinds of retaliation and harassment.

  28.  @fireraid2336  - you'll also notice that China has its own 'allies' (stooges) which can do its bidding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcUpYXi4zfg

  29. ​ @Tony Dinh - China is deadly serious - they mean business, and the US knows it. They can and will throw a huge amount of firepower into the fight, for what they see as a war of reunification.

  30. ​ @Brasidas 2000 - lasers attenuate in atmosphere, and these things won't be fighting in space

  31.  @brasidas2011  - no man, lasers don't work across long distances in atmosphere, because they attenuate.

  32.  @brasidas2011  - show me these real world lasers that knock out fast-moving targets at hundreds of kilometers distance.

  33.  @Master-AGN  - yeah, back then it was - and if they could fight the US to a standstill back then, just imagine what they could do today.

  34.  @Dhdh365  I think Indonesia is more like the France, which is a large buffer between UK (Australia) and the more contested areas.

  35.  @SlosII  - haha, he's Elensky now? If you were both as sincere as you claim, then you wouldn't have arrested all the political opposition leaders and shut down critical media. When you shut down all opposing voices by calling them Kremlin stooges, and try to impose your singular rule on an heterogenous land, then you're dooming the place to war and conflict. British missiles can't win this war, neither can Britain win it. Even Biden can't win it. None of them have the staying power. Their ground is collapsing under their feet, even as we speak.

  36. These scenarios are unrealistic by not accounting for interventions of other powers.

  37. What about long-range cruise missiles/drones launched from ships? At some point they'll be better than manned aircraft, and they may only make a 1-way trip.

  39. China's most useful conventional weaponry would be its huge number of ballistic missile launchers, which it could use to bombard Indian airbases, even while China could launch plenty of its own air strikes from its limited airbases.

  42. ​ @Suhel Mullick - hardly anybody can make a jet engine. China couldn't supply jet engine for JF-17 and so instead it had to be Russian.

  43. Not true - Chinese troops had automatic weapons while Indians had only single-shot WW2-era rifles like the Enfield.

  44.  @shreeyanshcool4604  never heard of qbz, so I don't think that was well known to Indians. Remember other stupid things, like General B M Kaul running away from battlefield and claiming he could direct war from his bed in New Delhi. He was court-martialed for his lousy behaviour, but to this day I don't have respect for Kashmiris as soldiers.They're a soft people, except for Dogras.

  45.  @shreeyanshcool4604  I am talking about 1962, man. You cannot take today's weapons and travel back in time to use them in 1962.

  46. never saw that movie - was it Disney or Pixar?

  47. US would intervene, and so would Japan. Even Australia would join in, as part of the Quad.

  48. Must be expensive to build your own tank though, instead of just buying someone else's. Does Israel make back any of their expenditure by selling these tanks to others? Or would that just leak their technology?

  49.  @bjornbakker160  - so Merkava is used by Israel only then. How much did it cost to develop? For how many tanks in use?

  50.  @dukenukem8381  - come on, Russia was always in Crimea, which has always been theirs
